Has any one notice any peculiar behavior when X7 is open too long? When it starts to go buggy, you import a an entire toolpath group from another file or from a group of ops, the 'tool' parameter page is empty. AND all the tools imported in got add to the first MAch/Tool group and gave random numbers to the tools listed. So say 'tool 3' was 1/2" em, when I went back in there were drills and different end mills that were also tool 3' that I imported into the different toolpath groups Same result if you add tools to a toolpath group the imported ones don't show up. they post and you can renumber the tools, but you CAN NOT edit them I showed In-House this but no solution was found. once I closed MC and restarted it was fine. We cleared the Temp in hopes that that may help..... This time I got lucky and I closed with out saving and it must have erred after my last save, the two times before I had to redo all the affect toolgroups. If anyone has seen this and know of a setting or something to stop the problem from happening. please let me know. Thanks in advance Rick

I wonder....... Kife is your example a 2-d surf and is guitar's a 3-d model, and they behave differntially?

can you post a file?

NICE! but I have been pushing X7 MU3 more....

If it affects you Julio......YES I'M HAPPY!!!!!

edit I was doing wrong... ..... thats what she said..... (preemptive remark for you fellers)

You are in the USA! :bonk:....ROURALE!

Eric didn't pay his Thee Circle Maintenance fee this month and now he's paying the price......

because its a circle the other point(top left of part) if it hit that spot too, it would be an ellipse or an oval It did exactly what a bounding box circle should do only a concentric part would do what you are after

X9

Jalapeno Cheeto's FTW!!!

Pay attention more and you wont have so many problems...... ROUR!

Havent had it happen yet. But i have been getting a even weirder one. Import a group of ops from another file and go to edit a cutter and there are no paths to edit. yet they all imported and i can select geo and regen but Edit Nothing. So had to spend an hour making them from scratch..... inhouse was not available for support that day, so i was redirected to the west coast The tech there said it may be because i imported from X5 to X6 and now to X7 and MC cant read them in because it lost compatibility with itself somewhere along the line. X8 is only many months away. It will be solid, by the time its released

Good tip, i use two line as Matt stated, gonna try the point after selecting the two ;lines

I used the import utility wizzard for everything and it seems to have worked fine

Loaded X8, migrated from X7 very smooth transition, flawless. posts mmd's all good

plus my powermill grammer moved on to a different shop a month ago So im swamped doing it all, design/grammer

I have other software. I like MC best, just need it to be solid.

What are you guys Demacrats? nice answers. I give as much of a Sh!t about JB as I do about the 10 crashes I had this week. I dont follow him, or look around on the internet for his BS, like you bozo'z.....LOL I work 50 to 60 hrs a week, I care why CNC wont put out an MU3 for the remaining bugs but hey, if any thing JB must be the only reason they wont. Certainly us working folk 'seem' to sit on the bench. Back to gramming, only one crash this morning....unrelated to the spin crash I had yesterday. Heres your breakfast JB.

Heres what it looks like when spinmode greys out just before it locks up https://www.youtube....eature=youtu.be

Jmahon I tried that, it works when verify in x6 locks up Then gives you a chance to save Saved me a ton of times

Sucks when your boss is sitting beside you and witnesses it.... Ah well, at least it didn't corrupt the file... Lol Joe funny thing I was deleting geometry while designing a rush job with the boss and it wouldn't stop, then locked up, hard reboot to get MC to close, lost the whole design So he told me to video capture it Said a few kind words and left my office Won't miss it

went to hit delete and slight hit the end key that starts that stupid spin mode. locked up and lost an hours work PLEASE give us and MU3 for X7 i have a video i can send in

Tight lipped Louie!.... ROR!

Where is that setting, and why is it broke in X7?.... Jeremy are you beta testers testing X7 MU3? I'm find more bugs on a daily basis then even X5. Maybe they should release X8, i hear it is rock solid and stable.
